"I was looking through newspapers and doing some research to see what was going on," the 34-year-old says. "Apart from that, my agent in Germany tried to get in touch with a lot of people [in Britain], but it's not very easy. Then my wife, who was on the internet every day, figured out that Swansea needed a goalkeeper. 'What about Swansea?' she said. 'They're here, in Austria, at the training camp.' So I looked at the map and it was just 40 minutes away from my apartment. I called my agent and he said: 'Just go there.'"

Kevin Clifton McMinn was alleged by The Scotsman to be called 'Teddy' at school because he ran as if he had a teddy bear tucked under his arm. In his autobiography McMinn stated it was because as a toddler he and his teddy bear were inseparable.

Later playing career[edit]

Ted McMinn ended his playing career with Australian club ECU Joondalup and then Slough Town.[1] At Sough Town during the 96/97 season, although slowing down, he played a holding role, often restarting attacks which had broken down. He was revered by the die hards who would sing his nickname Tin Man, to the tune of Stingray. Being a humourist, Ted would have appreciated this. When questioned whether McMinn was a "micky taker," team mate Mark Fiore replied sardonically "yes." At the end of the season he retired due to arthritis of the knee.

McMinn was a sort of cult figure with Rangers' fans so I'm not surprised he has a lengthy wiki entry

Partick Thistle

After returning to Huddersfield Town, Higginbotham failed to establish himself in the first team, and was subsequently released from his contract.[7] He signed for Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle on a two year deal on 8 August 2013.[8] Two days later he made his Partick Thistle debut in a 3–1 victory over Ross County where he had two goals controversially disallowed for offside.[9] He made his home debut for Thistle in a 1–1 draw with Heart of Midlothian. Higginbotham scored his first goal for the Jags on 31 August 2013 in a 2–1 comeback win over St.Mirren in Paisley. Higginbotham is a very audacious player as he hit the crossbar straight from kick-off away to Aberdeen. Kallum scored his first home goal for the jags with an overhead kick wonder goal against Kilmarnock after 3 minutes, the game finished 1-1 after Killie scored a 90th minute equaliser from a rebounded penalty which Paul Gallacher saved. Higginbotham is renowned for having a great standing jump for such a small footballer. Higginbotham is a very skilful player with great flair.

Bojinov dated a Bulgarian singer Alisia.[23] On 12 September 2007, he became father of a baby son.[24] His son is also named Valeri. Now he is married to a Bulgarian playmate Nikoleta Lozanova.[25]

On October 2013, Bojinov made the headlines in his native Bulgaria, but for good reason. While shopping with his family at a mall in Sofia, Bojinov saved a man reportedly choking on his tongue by helping to pull his tongue out of his throat and stabilising him until medics arrived.[26]

The Friendship Trophy is a football honour, contested on an irregular basis by just two teams: Norwich City and Sunderland.[1]

The trophy is awarded each time the teams play each other competitively. The honour dates back to the camaraderie forged between fans of the two clubs at the time of the 1985 Football League Cup Final that they contested.[2]

The Professional Footballers' Association Team of the Year (often called the PFA Team of the Year, or simply the Team of the Year) is an annual award given to a set of 44 footballers in the top four tiers of English football; the Premier League, the Championship, League One and League Two, who are seen to be deserving of being named in a "Team of the Year". Peter Shilton currently holds the most appearances in the PFA Team of the Year in the top division with 10 appearances. Steven Gerrard currently holds the most appearances in the PFA Team of the Year in the Premier League era with 7 appearances.

Oxford United's Damian Batt, who was named in the Team of the Year for League Two in 2011, said he was "very pleased to be given such a prestigious award. It is something that I am very proud of".[4]

He made his return at Port Vale on 14 March, despite having taken little part in training in the preceding week.[44] Port Vale were a team with a physically robust approach, and used the muddy conditions to their advantage.[45] Kinkladze was played out of position on the right wing, much to his displeasure,[46] and gave a performance that the Manchester Evening News summarised as "barely noticeable".[47] Vale defeated City 2–1, and Royle severely criticised Kinkladze for a lack of effort, dropping him for the next six games.[46]
